Can I make it ahead of time?
You can whip the cream and store it in the fridge for a few hours before serving. No longer, since it can separate and you will have liquid on the bottom of the container.
Can I make it without heavy cream?
You can use evaporated milk in place of heavy cream. For a vegan option, use aquafaba (the chickpeas liquid). Coconut milk may be an option, but I have not tested this recipe with it.
Best tips:
- You need cold heavy whipping cream for the best results.
- Use an electric hand mixer for ease.
- If using a hot chocolate mix, skip the sugar since the mix is already sweetened.
